I think it's odd that Columbus never stepped foot in North America. He landed in the Caribbean were he brought disease and pestilence and he may have been Spanish and not Italian. Not to mention others were in North America before Columbus, yet we still celebrate him. At least I get the day off.

Celebrating Columbus Day is like celebrating "Hitler Day". Aside from the disgrace of honoring this turd, what is the significance? A 3 day weekend for some? How many are GLAD he came to the Carribean and remember him fondly? At all?
